INTRODUCTORY. 



At the Decennial Banquet, the Executive Committee 
was directed to prepare in simple form the ten years' 
record of the class of '87. 

This record contains, with few exceptions, the sub- 
stance of each man's history. We wish the information 
at our disposal were greater ; as it is, we make up in 
quality what we lack in quantity. 

May the next decade add as many laurels to '87 as 
the past ten years has.

Ileport of t\)t JDeccuniol Committee. 

In January, 1897, the following committee was appointed by 
the " Baron " Harper to take charge of the Decennial Reunion 
at Amherst during Commencement week. 

F. B. Pratt, Chairman, 
A. P. Alvord, 
A. C. Rounds, 

E. D. Blodgett, 
Dr. N. C. Haskell, 

F. C. Sharp, 

G. B. Mallon, 
Rev. John Bigham. 

Owing to convenience of location and the better opportunity 
for consultation the burden of the work tell on the New York 
members of the committee and in order to sound the sentiment 
of the class on the subject the following letter was sent to each 
member. 

February 13, 1897. 
My dear : 

The " Baron " has started the Decennial ball rolling and we 
are in the field now to push it along. You may expect to hear 
from us regularly until we meet at Amherst, in June. 

In the first place, we have engaged Hitchcock Hall, formerly 
of theBoltwood House, as headquarters, where a limited number 
of fellows can secure room and board at the rate of $3.00 a day. 
It is decidedly the most desirable place in the town for head- 
quarters, and, with a goodly number of men back, we can 
make the College and the Alumni feel that '87 is a royal good 
class. 



2 '8/ DECENNIAL RECORD. 

Secondly : In order to supply the funds for the necessary 
expenses, we request that each member of the class send the 
Chairman $3.00, — this is to cover the cost of announcements,' 
guarantees, rent, etc. 

Thirdly : We want as soon as possible a definite knowledge 
of your plans, whether or not we can count on your actual live 
presence at Amherst, during Commencement week. 

Don't forget that the most important college celebration after 
graduation is the Decennial. The Quinquennial seldom 
amounts to much. Twenty years scatter men badly, and the 
tenth anniversary is the celebration you must attend, if you 
expect to see the class, as such, together again. 

In place of the rather formal class-dinner, the special commit- 
tee on entertainment and reception is planning a novel spread 
and smoker, — something unique and old-fashioned, with infor- 
mality and good cheer. 

Commencement week has not yet been appointed, but it will 
probably be from June 20 to 28. 

Very truly yours. 
(Signed.) F. B. PRATT, Chairman. 
Committee : 

Arthur C. Rounds, 
George B. Mallon, 
Andrew P. Alvord, 
Nelson C. Haskell, 
Edward D. Blodgett, 
Frank C. Sharp, 
John Bigham. 

This was followed by another circular letter and a postal, to 
which there were fifty-two responses out of a total of' sixty-four 
notices sent out. The tentative suggestion of Bohemianism 
contained in the word " smoker " brought down on the devoted 
heads of your committee a storm of indignant protest from 
certain quarters, which shall be nameless, while it was hailed 
with delight by such abandoned wretches as " Bill " Nourse 



'Sy DECENNIAL RECORD. 3 

'who in the same letter in which he warmly applauded the sug- 
gestion of the committee, announced that he could not be 
present. 

This seemed such a palpable effort to involve the committee 
in difficulty, while refusing to share the responsibility, that we 
finally decided, with reluctance, to abandon the obnoxious term 
and to run no risk in departing from tradrtional lines. 

We think it no violation of the confidence of the committee to 
say that George Mallon at one stage of the deliberations sug- 
gested that we have a " Beef Steak " dinner thus justifying again 
that most euphonious title of " Cold Beef Mallon." 

Of the fifty-two men responding twenty-seven were in Amherst 
at some time during Commencement week. These were as 
follows : — 



Allen, 


Hayley, 




Rounds, R. S, 


Alvord, 


Haynes, 




Sibley, 


Bliss, 


Keating, 




Stevens, 


BULKLEY,

Dixon. 


Pratt, 




Call, 


Hardy, 


Rogers, E. 


B. 


Howe, 


Haskell, 


Rounds, A. 


C. 


Putnam. 



The committee had engaged as Headquarters the old Bolt- 
wood House, now known as Hitchcock Hall, which proved most 
satisfactory for the purpose. Here the class dinner was served 
on Tuesday at one o'clock, this being the only available hour, 
and twenty-three men sat down. It was informal in character 
giving an opportunity for the renewal of old friendships and for 
listening to messages from absent classmates not fortunate 
enough to be with us. 

The business meeting following resulted in the election of 
these officers : 

Brest. F. B. Pratt, 

Vice-Prest. R. S. Rounds, 

Secy. & Treas. C. A. Sibley. 



4 'S'/ DECENNIAL RECORD. 

A vote of thanks was extended to the retiring officers John F. 
Harper, Arthur Kendrick, and John Bigham. 

On Monday afternoon a base-ball game was played on Pratt 
Field between '87 and '94 the result of which has no part in this 
history. On Tuesday afternoon Prest. Gates held his usual 
reception for the Alumni of the college, a special invitation 
being given to the class of '87. 

On Tuesday evening Professor and Mrs. Todd, extended to 
the class the hospitality of their charming home a delightful 
courtesy greatly appreciated by those fortunate enough to 
attend. 

To clear the committee of suspicion as to the proper disposi- 
tion of the $3.00 assessment levied on the members of the class 
a financial statement is appended hereto which we stand ready 
to have attested in legal form if desired.

evening, June 23, 1890, in the same room as our senior class 
supper. 

At 10.30 p.m., twenty-one men were seated, with the class

the menu was discussed. In beginning the toasts, the toast- 
master referred appropriately to our dead, Thompson and 
Truslow. General remarks were made by Allen, Bigham, 
Buikley, Davis, Hale}^, and Harper, and letters were read 
from the absent. Business came next. The secretary's re- 
port, recommending an annual tax of $i.oo and the union of 
the duties of secretary and treasurer, was read and accepted, 
as was also his resignation. The Class-cup Committee re- 
ported in favor of Beeman Pitcher Sibley, son of Arthur 
and Helen Pitcher Sibley, born in Oak Park, 111., Novem- 
ber 3, 1889. The report was accepted, the committee 
honorably discharged, and the award duly made amid ap- 
plause followed by a toast to the baby. The wives of the 
class were formally admitted to honorary membership, and 
Bigham was elected secretary, vice Mirick, resigned. The 
banquet was brightened with the old-time songs, led by 
Whitehill, and the yell was exhibited loud, long, and often. 
The occasion was enthusiastic and pleasant. 

^be QuaDrienniaL 

The inauguration of President Gates brought many 
alumni. Twelve of us appeared, indulged in the usual dem- 
onstrations, and enjoyed seeing one another : Alvord, 
Bigham, Bliss, Chase, C. A., Chase, E. O., Dixon, Haynes, 
Holton, Rounds, R. S., Thorp, White, W. P., Wood. 

^be Quinauennial*

banquet, Tuesday night in the Amherst House, letters were 
read from Holton, India ; Sharp, Germany ; Uchimura, 
Japan ; and a telegram from D. W. Rogers. The occasion 
was a failure in point of numbers, but some pleasant remi- 
niscences were exchanged, with the hopes of a good Decen. 
nial in '97. The secretary's report was read.
